2581 The Hand That Starts the Epoch!

“It’s true that the dead who have been buried but have yet to decompose can be revived. But it’s not only them who can be revived. The souls of every human, animal, and insect can be revived, too!

“The deceased whose corpses’ haven’t decomposed will be able to use their bodies again or use their souls to take over the bodies of other lifeforms. Those who are unable to gain a body will consume each other, and the gathering of souls will eventually turn into undead creatures known as specters. That is my understanding of the Sleeper’s Revival!”

Lin Yuan’s hand landed forcefully on the chair made of the Abyss Red Lotus’ stalks. His hand immediately split apart from the force, and fresh red and gold blood splattered out.

Lin Yuan had already seen his fair share of the world, and his mental state was as steady and unshakable as a mountain. It was difficult to find something that could shock him.

But now, he had even broken his fist on this chair.

Liu Jie and Wen Yu would definitely be shocked to see him now!

They went a long way back with Lin Yuan but had never seen him lose control in such a way.

So this was the real meaning of the Sleeper’s Revival!

The main world had already experienced five long epochs. Each of them involved the rise and extinction of thousands of species.

When the shrine in Lin Yuan’s soul became a divine kingdom, he developed it by using faith power. Now, lifeforms and derivation had appeared.

This allowed Lin Yuan to slowly understand what an epoch was.

The transition of epochs seemed to be associated with time, but the connection was not particularly strong. What was truly linked to epochs was the world and the succession of species inhabiting it.

Each epoch’s occurrence always brought about alterations in the world and the extinction of numerous species.

In the fey world that Lin Yuan had arrived at, there was one similarity to his previous world: humans only appeared during the tail end of the fourth epoch.

Humans started off as a weak species. Only after they learned how to harness spirit qi and contract feys, they began moving up the food chain and established their own glittering civilization.

The rise of the human race significantly impacted many other species, leading some to rise or weaken. Some even went extinct. However, this didn’t mark the end of the fourth epoch.

For reasons unknown, the spirit qi of the fourth epoch disappeared, causing it to come to a close and giving way to the fifth epoch.

The absence of spirit qi compelled humans to forge a new path, which led to crucial technological advancements.

Just as the fifth epoch began and before humans were dethroned from their position atop the food chain, the spirit qi returned, signaling the start of the fifth epoch!

Prior to the emergence of humans, numerous species flourished and perished during the first to fourth epochs. The history of the main world was adorned with countless species. Among them, the third epoch stood out for its remarkable diversity.

Many Scholars especially liked to hire spirit qi professional teams to excavate locations and dig out fossils,

Because of the presence of spirit qi, lifeforms capable of absorbing it would turn into fossils after death. This transformation would occur as long as they had reached a certain level during their lifetime and remained undamaged after death.

Tower Canon’s plan was to revive all the souls that had ever lived in the main world. They could take over the bodies of other lifeforms, the corpses that had yet to decompose, or even consume each other to turn into specters.

In the past five epochs, there could have been hundreds of thousands of lifeforms that had died on every square inch of earth. The total number of souls could not be calculated.

If Tower Canon’s Sleeper’s Revival plan were to come to fruition, it would threaten or directly lead to the end of the fifth epoch. This disaster, consisting of deceased souls, could trigger the beginning of the sixth epoch.

Dead souls naturally hated the living.

There was no way that the living could coexist with dead souls. Moreover, this was just the surface effects of the Sleeper’s Revival plan.

There had to be more than what Eighth Page Apoptosis knew.

It was likely that his guesses were the hidden effects that would eventually unfold.

This caused Lin Yuan to think of the Major Federation Union that the Moon Empress wanted to form.

In the face of this plot against the main world, it was crucial for all humans to unite. Only by coming together could they wield their greatest strength to fight back against the countless dead souls.

Eliminating all of the dead souls might take millennia.

Lin Yuan had considered stopping Tower Canon before the Sleeper’s Revival plan began. However, Eighth Page Apoptosis mentioned that the Pulsing Fountain had already started affecting the ley lines.

Since Lin Yuan didn’t know where Tower Canon’s headquarters were, it was too late to prevent the plan from happening.

Lin Yuan felt it was not just the humans who should unite.

Although humans were the overlords of the terrestrial world, they could not claim to own the seas. The rulers of the sea were the sea clans!

The sea comprised over 60% of the main world, with the sea clans having two to three times more lifeforms than terrestrial ones. This meant they had more experts than the humans!

Although Lin Yuan had never directly contacted the Vast Sea Labyrinth, they were connected through marriage with the Heavenly Family Cottage, making them closely related.

With the Heavenly Family Cottage acting as a bridge, the Vast Sea Labyrinth would undoubtedly take action once they learned of Tower Canon’s plan, as long as their leaders were not foolish.

Having the humans’ assistance would make it easier for the sea clans to deal with the countless dead souls appearing in the sea.

At that moment, Lin Yuan was grateful for not being complacent or negligent in the past year.

Given the Radiance Federation’s previous understanding of the sea clans, they would be proposing an alliance with the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors.

This was because the humans did not know of the Vast Sea Labyrinth’s existence.

They would have no idea how to contact the Vast Sea Labyrinth even if they read about them from old records.

The human lifespan was much shorter than that of the sea clans.

The longer the lifespan, the more arrogant one would be. Thus, the powerful lifeforms of the sea always looked down on humans.

Nonetheless, they would still agree to join forces with the sea clans.

Lin Yuan’s strong conviction to join forces with the sea clans did not come from his hope that the sea clan’s experts would come up to land to help the humans. Given that they would have to face the same disaster, there was no way the sea clans’ experts would be willing to do so!
